Documentary on Prince William County Immigration Issue Wins Award at Charlotte Film Festival

Congratulations to my friends Annabel Park and Eric Byler, whose film "9500 Liberty" just won the "Jury Prize at Charlotte Film Festival -- Indie Truth Award for Best Documentary." The film "reveals the startling vulnerability of a local government [in Prince William County], targeted by national anti-immigration networks using the Internet to frighten and intimidate lawmakers and citizens." According to Annabel Park:

Next stop, we will be premiering in DC on October 1st at the DC Asian Pacific American Film Festival as the opening night film. You can buy tickets here for the screening and reception. This is our big hometown premiere screening with the "stars" from the film and a big after party so it is not to be missed if you are in the DC area.

This is the list of scheduled screenings including Prince William County, Honolulu, St. Louis, San Diego, Charlottesville, etc. We are adding more screenings including in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles in the coming weeks.

Thank you for supporting us throughout these months. Some of you have been with us for nearly two years. In fact, the second-year anniversary of the creation of the 9500 Liberty YouTube Channel will be celebrated on October 9th with the residents of Prince William County with a special community screening of the film at St. Paul's Church in Woodbridge.

I saw the film several months ago at a showing in Rosslyn with John Grisham hosting. I strongly recommend that you check it out!
